Fuck off Randy, you creepy, pedo fucking hack.

We’ll just wait for your dumb ass to leave another flash drive in another bathroom you’re getting a BJ from one of your marks in, again.

And hey Randy, if you can get all the media headlines to include the word ‘exonerated’ in the headlines which describe your completely confidential settlement reached outside of a courtroom, I can make shit up too.

Fuck this fucking hack.

My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen.

What is 80$ in 1991 worth today? calculateme says 190$ adjusted for inflation (in 2025).

What about the minimum wage? dol.gov says $4.25, or $10.08 adjusted for inflation. Since 2009 it’s $7.25.

7.25/10.08 = 0,72 or 10.08/7.25 = ~1,40

80/60 = 1.33

So we have a decrease in minimum wage by 30%, but an increase of product price by 30%.

Is this correct? Does that make it 60% more expensive than his personal analogy from 1991?

Man, the two-sided percent reference point is confusing.

I guess a better way to compare this, is the time you needed to work for the product.

So in 1991: 80 $ / 4.25 $/h = 18.82 h

In 2025: 80 $ / 7.25 $/h = 11.03 h.

Don’t forget that today, people have less spare money due to skyrocketing housing costs and various other fixed expenses…

If they still like the series past the second, then its lack of taste tax.

The writing is so cringe that even thinking about it is annoying me and I haven’t played a BL game in over a decade

I got the first 2 free with GwG (RIP) and the 3rd for $12 on sale.

Guess I‘m not a real fan.
